On Stealing - Stealing Ideas is Stealing

Stealing intellectual property – other people’s ideas or creations – is a hot topic right now. People are more aware of stealing artists’ songs, for example. But what about right in your workplace? Taking credit for other people’s work is stealing, too. If you’re a boss, it is not only highly unethical, it’s the very opposite of what you should be trying to promote. Taking credit for other people’s work can take other forms too, like letting a customer think you were the force behind a project when it was a group effort. Stop the stealing.

Repeat this: Starting with me, stealing is stealing. I will not inflate my own importance at others’ expense.
